In a time where players like to connect with friends in online worlds it is about time The Sims comes back Online.ĮA CEO Andrew Wilson recently said “Typically, what The Sims has done is really focus on fulfilling the motivations of inspirations, escape, creation, self-improvement, and not necessarily focus as much on social interaction and competition,” Most interestingly the new Sims game could finally feature multiplayer.

Which would mean that we are possibly looking at a The Sims 5 release sometime in 2021 – about 7 years after The Sims 4. So it is safe to assume that The Sims 5 has been in development for at least five to six years with a smaller development team in the beginning of course. As an example, when Animal Crossing New Leaf released, a small core group already began working on Animal Crossing New Horizons. It is very common by the time a game releases a few of the core developers start drafting out ideas for the sequel. The Sims 5 has been in development for some time. A fan project in the recent years brought the original The Sims Online back to life in a free to play version of the game called FreeSO – you can find a trailer and more information right her e, If you are a fan of The Sims I highly recommend checking this out!
